Masquerade

[AVANNA and GUMI]
Be scared, cause it only gets worse
Prepare for myself to get hurt
Keep on trying to get away
I know I cannot escape
I don’t own the thoughts in my head
So come here to speak my mind instead
Waiting for the bell to chime
They all keep on changing my mind

[AVANNA]
No one ever cares, it appears
Everybody stares
Insincere
Dramatize those words
Now it’s true
Laugh it off, and hide that look on my face

[GUMI]
You won’t see my eyes
Hiding from behind
Careless and unkind
Masks
You don’t understand
No one gives a damn
Dunno where I stand
Anymore

[AVANNA]
Can’t meet those ideals
It is so
Tell me how to feel
I don’t know
Twist and turn the words
It’s not true
Spinning ‘round, I’ve become a disgrace

[GUMI]
I have come to find
That you don’t seem to mind
My thoughts have realigned
Fast
You don’t understand and
No one gives a damn
I don’t know where I stand
So many lies...

[AVANNA]
A hyperbole
Designed to mislead
Not sure if the thoughts are mine or yours
I had not a chance
To pick my own stance
But I mean your own is fine of course

[AVANNA and GUMI]
What if I could change
The view in your brain
To match those of others all around
Cause a scene
I wanna scream
Now lock me up
Throw away the key

Be scared, cause it only gets worse
Prepare for myself to get hurt
Keep on trying to get away
I know I cannot escape
I don’t own the thoughts in my head
So come here to speak my mind instead
Waiting for the bell to chime
They all keep on changing my mind

[AVANNA]
Walk into the ball
Fake a smile
I can see them all
They’re all vile
Gotta wear a mask
I can’t choose
Pick for me ‘cause I’m a jack of all trades

[GUMI]
I can’t seem to care
About which mask I wear
You share it cause you care…
Right?!
Fake it till you make it
Build it up and break it
All the things you say
They make me cry…

[AVANNA]
I can’t make a choice
I can’t find my voice
I just wanna see what’s right for me
My head swirls around
I feel tied and bound
Just one word can alter what I see

[AVANNA and GUMI]
I’ve nothing to hide
Nothing to conceal
Whatever I fake is what I feel
I can’t go back
Imagine that
Behind this mask
Nothing’s even there

Be scared, cause it only gets worse
Prepare for myself to get hurt
Keep on trying to get away
I know I cannot escape

I don’t own the thoughts in my head
So come here to speak my mind instead
Waiting for the bell to chime
I just keep on changing...

Be scared, cause it only gets worse
You all know I’m here to get hurt
Keep on trying to get away
You know you cannot escape

I don’t own the thoughts in my head
So come here to speak my mind instead
Waiting for the bell to chime
They all keep on changing my mind
